Favorite lines from Rhiannon
 

Let's list our favorite lines from the song Rhiannon.

Here are mine:

She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is your darkness

and

Oh, No, Rhiannon, you cry, but then she's gone
And your life knows no answers

and Silly Dreamer Try hard You can't leave her..

Once in a million years - a lady like her - RIIIIIIIIIISES

Oh no Rhiannon you cry - but then she's gone

And your life knows no answers
________________________________________________

stunning to me. AND the million years line was not in the original - it was a live only thing as I gleefully discovered in like 1981 in the piano intro on the Bella Donna video :cool:

dreams unwind, love's a state of mind
cat in the dark, then baby, she is your darkness.
there's really only a few to choose from... :p

RHIAAAAAAAAAANNON.....Don't Go.
RHIAAAAAAAAAANNON.....Stay.

(I like that part of The Dance version)


Plus, the lines mentioned above.

Live:

"I don't change, and baby you don't change, it's all the same, RHIAAAAANON!" or "and you still cry out for her...don't leave me nnnnoooooooooowwwwwww!"

Album:

"Dreams unwind, love's a state of mind" and "she rules her life like a fine skylark and when the sky is starless."

Ditto. :nod:

And considering live versions:

"Well would you stay if she promised to you heaven?
Would you even try?
Ohhh....I don't think you do"

Romy

Live: "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL I DON'T THINK YOU DO!" :nod:

"Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night, and wouldn't you love to love her?"

Dreams unwind
love's a state of mind

and

'cause baby you don't change
and I don't change
and you don't change
Rhiannon
'cause darlin'
I don't change
and baby you don't change
and it's all the same
Rhiannon

Thank you for the exact quote! Love it! :)

If I don't change and you don't change
Then is it all the same, Rhiannon?
All the same
All the same
All the same, Rhiannon

I just love the All The Sames. <3

I agree. That's the best line to me, all others seem mediocre next to it.

"Take him by the sky, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" :thumbsup:
"Did your dreams unwind?" "Was your love a state of mind?" "Is that what you want?" :nod:
"All the same...." So profound in so many ways
"Dream on you silly dreamer, try hard you can't leave her!"
Brit

I think all the good ones were already said...but one that sticks out in my mind is the Japan one "golden, emerald, satin..." I like the 3 birds reference.
And I like the "and he still crys out for heeeerrrr...don't leave me". I like the whole damn song actually :D
~*~becky~*~

You can't leave her
Dream on...silly dreamer
Try hard
You can't leave her
Leave her...
Try hard...try hard... try HARDER :eek: :eek: :eek:

this is mine also, seems she is about 2 bust out ala SOTM style, where it sounds as if she speaks in tongues, love this :thumbsup: !!!~

From this most recent tour:

dream on, silly dreamer
you try hard, no you can't leave her
dream on, SILLY DREAMER!
RHIAAAAANNNNNNOOOOONNNN

*head drop*

Those are cool lyrics. :nod:

I just love it when the tempo changes there when the song goes in to the Dreams unwind, loves a state of mind part..

I had to listen to it a few times before I got it right. :laugh: It's almost like she means no one changes Rhiannon.

would you stay if she promised you heaven

Ditto.

I also like,

"Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night and who will be her lover?"

Richard...When I finish this song...We have to go to a park...and record the sound of birds, rising. You know, the sound of birds, rising..."

I have this. Right before it, she says, "Lindsey, isn't Rhiannon a beautiful name?" and he says, "Yes, Stevie, Rhiannon is a beautiful name"

I love that line too! Good one. :nod:


All you have to do is look at my signature.....
"Dreams unwind, Love's a State of Mind" is one of my favorite lines, period. :)

I also like these lines as well:

"Once in a million years a lady like her rises,
Oh no, Rhiannon, you cry, but she's gone
and your life knows no answer"

"Wellllllllll, take me like the wind, child, take me with the sky"

Right now, in the context of this news story, it would be: Will you ever win?


https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ood/388082002/

I don't know the full context of this story, but I take it at face value: it appears a homeless man was outside of a McDonalds and an ordinary citizen takes him in and buys him food. The homeless man appears to be quietly eating his meal and was told to leave the "restaurant." The man who purchased his meal speaks up boldly to defend the man. About half way through the video, as a police officer was speaking to the homeless man, one summoned to remove the homeless man from the premises, the song "Rhiannon" is playing in the background. The whole thing is sad.

I was impressed with the man who spoke up to defend the homeless man, who purchased him a meal and then later even offered to take him elsewhere to eat. McDonalds- not my kind of place. Dreams unwind, loves a state of mind. I know.

The guy yelling who bought the food is a jerk. He did a worthy and tremendous act of kindness but it was ruined with his lack of respect towards the restaurant and the police. The police must do their job. Anytime someone calls and wants someone removed from their property because of complaints, they must act. To yell at the police and restaurant managers YOU SUCK over and over was pathetic. I feel bad for the customers. He upset the customers way more than any homeless person would. He could have spoke to the officers and manager in a normal voice and the entire situation could have been resolved. But he forced everyone to get into corners and tried to scream over everyone. He antics and behavior really voided his tremendous act of kindness.

actually, she says "Lindsey, isn't Rhiannon a beautiful name?" and then she says, as if she's Lindsey, "Yes, Stevie, Rhiannon is a beautiful name"

I like how she kinda hiccups when she says the sound of (hiccup) birds rising"

she's so toasted on that tape:angel:
